Using the Printer Utilities

The Epson printer utilities let you check the
current printer status and perform printer
maintenance from your screen.
Nozzle Check
This utility checks the print head nozzles to see if
they are clogged and need to be cleaned. Check
the nozzles when you notice the print quality has
declined and after cleaning to confirm that the
print head nozzles have been cleaned. If the print
head nozzles are clogged, perform head cleaning.
Head Cleaning
This utility cleans the color and black print heads.
You may need to clean the print head if you notice
the print quality has declined.
Print Head Alignment
This utility can be used to improve the print
quality of your printed data. The alignment of the
print head may need to be adjusted if vertical
lines appear out of alignment or if white or black
banding noise appear in your printed data. Use
this utility to realign the print head.
